Eric P. Prostko, Georgia Extension Weed Specialist, has released a white paper on dealing with glyphosate-, atrazine- and ALS-resistant weeds in that state. He includes a variety of weed control options. including approaches where Roundup/glyphosate and ALS resistance are found in the same field.

Here's a link to the paper.

Top 10 Questions And Answers About Liberty-Link Soybeans And The Fit With Roundup Resistance

Two Georgia Extension workers released a white paper this month on where, generally speaking, Liberty-Link (LL) soybeans will fit in that state, especially from the standpoint of dealing with Roundup-resistant pigweed, which probably rates now as that state's number one agronomic problem in field crops.

It was written by Jared R. Whitaker (Extension Agronomist – Soybean and Cotton) and Eric P. Prostko (Extension Agronomist – Weed Science).

Here's a link to their report.
